LOL. Coal. I heard rotary phones are making a comeback too.Hopefully the assholes career is done after this.
Alec Baldwin Was Told Gun in Fatal Shooting on Set Was Safe, Officials Say (Published 2021)

natural gas is cleaner and cheaper. But, I bet the loser liberals don't want that either
There is obviously a lot of shit you don't know.
Its certainly a better option than coal as you said, but it should only be viewed as a transition to cleaner energies like wind and solar. Right now those technologies are too expensive to be fully viable options. Although, in several years that is going to change. The technology behind it is advancing at an incredible rate...both the efficiency of turning wind/solar into electricity and the amount of energy that batteries can store and for how long.
Let me know when those alternatives are dependable . As long as govt are giving subsidies to buy cars that aren't really economical, they will continue to flourish. Hopefully, a new govt will make them stand on their own two feet.
That's kind of like saying back in 1997 "let me know when those computers are dependable". Its just a matter of time. Its like changing the engine on a 747 while in flight...with the added complexity of a large part of the country opposed to it on political and not necessary factual concerns.
Your arrogance and ignorance is shown in this statement. Unlike the rotary phone, the companies making those phones continued on and their employees kept their jobs. Unlike coal, when the mines shut down, thousands lost their jobs, and the state of West Virginia has lost population and future generations of good paying jobs.
It won't be cheaper in the future though. Not when you are forced to use it, and nothing else.
Ok, inform the government to force manufacturers to locate plants in rural coalfields of WV......where there are no good roads, no good airports, and the infrastructure is sh!t.
You can buy solar panels now. You don't have to wait.
No, I'm not in favor of any subsidies. If solar is so great, it will be when we run out of cheaper forms like coal, natural gas and nuclear, put them on your house. Nothing is any good if govt is paying you to use it. It's not economical. Do not cut your nose off in spite of your face. the US is cleaner now than it was in the 30-50's.
Liberals, cutting their nose off in spite of their face.
So, you're arguments are obviously tied up in the fact you are married to coal, and either can't or aren't able to figure out what to do next. There is an option to convert these coal plants to carbon neutral plants, but Manchin w/ his pockets lined w/ coal money said no. There are options out there, but to do business as usual in the coal industry isn't one of them.
No, you are ignoring the major obstacle that plagues the coalfields of southwestern West Virginia and eastern Kentucky. The infrastructure, the topography, the lack of other industry, those continue to be major hurdles that nobody seems to want to address when discussing "get rid of coal" or "coal is dead". When you have a population that live in that region, that relied on those coal jobs, and now they are gone and the infrastructure is still crappy (no investments going in to help that region "develop"), and the people have no choice but to LEAVE, then you are going to have a depopulated region that will result in less funding for schools, poverty, and habitual crime.
These idiots just don't understand basic anything.
Hopefully the assholes career is done after this.

Let's hear the data or is it only for the wealthy??? Coal is probably dead in the US. However, China, India and North Korea(I believe) are going full blast with coal.
Your point exactly. No excuse, you ALWAYS check to see if your gun is loaded-period!!
Again, what these people don't understand is that we may cut our fossil fuel consumption, but if others don't, then we are only hurting ourselves because NOTHING changes environmentally.
You really don't know what you are talking about. You need to figure it out or you will be left behind.
Coal isn't dead. You just don't know WTF you are talking about.
Leftist propaganda at its finest. Gonna go out on a limb and guess you did not take any physics, chemistry, or other science classes during your days at WVU. To say solar and wind will come anywhere close to meeting our energy needs is to deny physics. Unless you are fond of brown outs and service interruptions.
One company is working on making batteries more efficient. They ran experiments prior to getting additional funding. So, they aren't real life examples, and even those results were off the charts. They are basically going to take a battery that is currently the size of a large beer can and reduce it to the size of a backgammon piece and make it more environmentally friendly while doing it. That way you can attach it to damn near anything. These batteries will be 10x smaller, last 20x longer and store the electricity for 5x longer. In addition, its not a lithium-ion battery. So, you don't have to worry about how to get rid of a brick of lithium, which is bad for the environment, when its dead after 5-10 years.
The other part of that is that nobody can afford cleaner energy alternatives. Natural Gas and clean coal technology is simply too cheap for green energy to surpass and both are cleaner than the Carbo footprint of the alternatives.
Not to mention solar and wind are dirtier than fossil fuels as a whole
I guess Liberals will be the ones making all the money off of their clean energy investments. I don't consider that cutting off one's nose.
No question. Mining of rare earths is done in third world countries with much of the work performed by child labor. I spent time in Africa and the human and environmental costs are something the left ignores. Solar panels have a shelf life and they are toxic waste. Ever see the windmill burial ground in Wyoming? Those massive windmill blades are just piled up and covered with dirt.
Yeah, just like with the vaccine mandates. RADICALS (not liberals) are making a fortune.
